The sunlight shining through the window was bright.
It was so bright that I couldnt raise my head.
I tried to look around.
In this case, the unrealistic structure of the Mage Tower was helpful.
Crystal Hall automatically expanded to fit the size of the dragons.
There was even enough for people who were glancing at those dragons to sit down together.
I cant just ignore this.
Even if I said nothing happened.
My plan to not make a big deal out of it was completely destroyed by the dragons uproar! At this moment, there were the aftereffects of the dragons tears all over the earth.
Im glad there was no hostility.
The only thing the dragons did was call out to Dark Dragon.
What more could they do with my title?
Thanks to that, it all ended up with just everyone reeling.
Because I disciplined Prosnax, I knew very well the power of the murderous Dragon Fear.
If they had spat out something like that, its terrible just imagining it.
Even if the players were okay with it.
Ordinary people might have felt their lives threatened.
It could have led to a dangerous situation if it went wrong.
The reason I summoned you is simple.
This guy really had no shame whatsoever no matter where he displayed it.
Would he be able to keep his mouth?
So we gathered in the Crystal Hall like this.
I thought you guys might need an explanation.
Even as I said that, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth.
I kept feeling worried.
I had a good reason for that.
Out of all of them
Why did it have to be him out of dozens of dragons?
Why did it have to be Kudhanax, the Earth Dragon with a criminal record!
As you know, I entered the Arcana Continent through a portal.
In fact, it was not difficult to explain the whole story.
I could just separate out the small details and explain to them in broad terms, right?
As Grandfel usually did.
The principle mimics the connector.
It was just a matter of listing the facts.
My purpose was to save the Elder Dragon, Eunaxus. Furthermore, it was to keep my previous arrangement with him.
I could hear the sound of people swallowing their saliva from here.
A previous arrangement with the dragon.
It might sound grand, but it was an arrangement I made by myself.
Anyway, everyone already looked surprised.
The real story began now.
I continued speaking calmly.
And in the process, I guided and educated the dragons.
Indeed, that summary was just like Grandfel.
Guidance and education.
In fact, you couldnt make a one-line summary clearer than that.
I cleared up the misunderstanding between the Mother World Tree and her child dragons, reconciled Eunaxus and the dragons, and made them realize their pride. Calling it guidance and education would be correct.
However, the problem was that the process was overly glossed over! I fought the Ice Dragon to death, discovered a hidden piece called the Dragon Temple, and even died after breaking a teacup there.
You just skipped it all, Grandfel.
That explanation was no different from the usual.
But
Should I still feel glad about this?
If there was anything different from the usual.
It might be that I had an audience who knew my hardships.
Yes, I was talking about Kudhanax.
Kudhanax, who watched everything, was nodding his head.
And I was glancing at that Kudhanax.
Please continue to remain quiet like that.
He might bring up the name Lee Hoyeol Claudie.
Or Dark Dragon.
I was genuinely afraid.
Still, quick-witted Eunaxus would have figured out what I meant Unfortunately, Eunaxus was on the Arcana Continent.
Not all the dragons appeared in reality.
It seemed that the twenty-one dragons were divided into two and glided across the reality and Arcana Continents, looking for me.
That made me feel even more dizzy.
As if the reality wasnt bad enough, you went to the Arcana Continent!
Dark Dragon.
They must have cried out that damn nickname.
But lets brace ourselves, Hoyeol.
As long as I dont get caught.
I only needed to crack down on Kudhanax so that he didnt talk nonsense.
In that regard.
I was so grateful for this little commotion.
I didnt hear it wrong, right?
He definitely said he trained the dragons.
There was a reason why he was away for 15 days.
Do you really believe it?
You lack pride, Leonie. Just believe it.
Nam Taemin, Leonie, Hisagi, Schraig.
Yeah, keep whispering like that.
I shifted my gaze and looked toward the Arcana audience.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m
Youve done something truly ridiculous this time, Sir!
We should take today as an opportunity to rewrite the history of the Great Dragon-Demon War. Dont you think so, Tower Master?
This is beyond my imagination. Our great Chief, as always.
Harkon, Yugwid, Marcelo, Tower Master
It was good for them to keep chattering too.
I would allow the chitchat as much as I wanted today.
It was more important not to give Kudhanax a chance to open his mouth.
Thankfully.
Kudhanax kept nodding his head and listening to the story.
I wondered if there was a reason for that
It wasnt until everyone stepped away that Kudhanax told me.
Hoho. I believe that Claudie would know this well. Legend has power. And the power of that legend depends on how much it is talked in the world.
Kudhanax.
He was a dragon who had lived as long as Eunaxus.
Thanks to that, he really knew a lot.
It was the same even when he talked about legends.
Legend truly contains power.
If he said it like that, it probably wasnt an abstract story.
Just as there were [legend] grade items such as the ethereal iron.
There may be a system called [legend] that I was not aware of.
A new hole to dig is always welcome.
I didnt know what effect it had.
But I wasnt in the position to be picky, wasnt I?
While I was thinking.
Kudhanax continued with a laugh.
Thats why Ive been watching. In this world completely different from the Arcana Continent. Is the legend of Claudie and the Dark Dragon sufficiently resonating?
Those words sent goosebumps down my spine.
So that means right now.
Youre watching, waiting for an opportunity?!
So to put it crudely.
If the hospitality toward me wasnt good enough, Kudhanax would have stepped forward and talked about the reputation and status of Claudie and the Dark Dragon!
So thats why!
I thought he was nodding too much.
If it went wrong, not only the Dark Dragon.
Claudie would have been revealed as well.
A sigh of relief came out from deep in my heart.
Thats a useless concern.
Hoho. Its an old dragons excessive caution.
Of course, I couldnt say it.
Then, we will return as commanded.
By the way, he called it a command.
It would look like I gave orders to a dragon without knowing my place, Kudhanax. I did speak to him, but it wasnt an order or anything, it was just out of pure concern.
The fruit of the World Tree that contained only pure malice.
These dragons swallowed that evil fruit.
Didnt it feel like just hearing about it sent an unpleasant vibe to your body? So I recommended to them to spit out the fruit as soon as possible.
I hope you guys find a way.
But as you could see.
It seemed they couldnt easily spit out the evil fruit they had swallowed.
I couldnt tell whether it was because of the limitation of the dragons digestive system or if it was because of the effect of evil.
Well, I would try my best on my side too.
Dont worry, Kudhanax.
I will also try to come up with a way.
I shamelessly said that I would as always.
Actually, you should ask the experts rather than me.
In reality, it was the healing mages, including Belliere and Klee, who would suffer. All I could do was scrawl permission on their tower exit application form to avoid disruption to their research.
This Kudhanax doesnt know how to repay your favor.
With the burdensome farewell.
Kudhanax tore up the dimension and returned to the Dragon Temple.
This finally ended the commotion.
Why does the day feel long?
It might be time to briefly catch my breath.
This damn work addiction.
I couldnt get tired of work and kept thinking about what to do next.
I said meaningfully.
Is it time to finally reveal the hidden darkness?
Hidden darkness.
To translate Grandfels way of speaking, it was referring to the Claudie family mansion that Diend discovered.
I was determined to even use the shameful halo of the Claudie family.
A positive mindset.
Yeah.
In fact, at a time when I was struggling to ignore it.
It might be better to get used to it.
That damn Romeo
Of course, Im not sure if I could get used to it even if I try!
Still, it couldnt be helped, Hoyeol.
Now was the time.
It was time to show the pride of an adult who took responsibility for his past.
But even that has to follow procedures.
It was better to disentangle it early.
In fact, I wanted to witness the Claudie family with my own eyes right away.
Well, thanks to the dragons crying so loudly, there was a story about the Dark Dragon even on the Arcana Continent. The legend must be spreading.
Before I am unable to carry my face on the continent!
I had to quickly witness the mansion and check out the settings that could be used. But [The Last Adventurer] penalty held me back.
[Cooltime: 21 hours and 42 minutes]
[The Last Adventurer] penalty effect was he same as the death penalty back when the Arcana was just a game. Because of this, regardless of whether I opened a portal or used a connector, I could not reenter the Arcana Continent for the next day.
Besides, I had a lot of burdens to take on.
Its been 15 days.
I had been away for 15 days.
As the chief, general manager, and authority figure.
Needless to say, the piled-up work was no joke.
Lets take a look back at my experience in being a member of society.
If I am absent without notice for 15 days Even if I just sort it out, it would take a week, right?
But who was I?
The owner of the [Blessing of the First World Tree].
Thanks to the constantly regenerating vitality.
Even after performing laborious class quests that challenged my limits every day, I could sit at my desk and carry out my work as if nothing had happened.
I declared confidently.
One day is enough.
It would be a shame if Grandfels style of speaking was left out there again.
For me, even the passing time is just a number.
Yes, yes, youre doing good, Grandfel-nim.
Anyway, his posturing doesnt go anywhere.
You will grow up only when you face the harsh reality
After seeing the dragons howling because of me.
Those thoughts disappear completely.
Rather, I felt afraid.
This is why puberty is important.
I thought that if I kept going back and forth like this, I would become more and more arrogant. And I wondered how long I could endure the ever-increasing shame!
But.
Lets worry about it later.
As I said.
Even if I brought everything I had in front of the opponents I would face in the future, it probably wouldnt be enough. Yes, in other words, this arrogance could be used as a driving force to move forward.
Perhaps because of the consistent attitude.
I immediately remembered what I had to do.
[Class Quest: Fruit of Good and Evil]
On the brink of extinction, the World Tree bore fruit to sow seeds. However, contrary to the will of the World Tree, good and evil didnt coexist, but the fruit was borne separately. The last demon hunter. Only you can find the sinner who separates good and evil.
Train your weak body. (Repeat)
Enter Sisley, the land of the elves. (In Progress)
Quest goal and another destination, Sisley.
I shouldnt forget to collect information about it as well.
I remembered what Marcelo said.
In the meantime, the Tower Master filled Sir Hoyeols absence.
The lazy cat took care of things properly.
I didnt know if he had done it properly enough to meet Grandfels standards, but.
There must be more work piled up in Yusra than there was work piled up in the Mage Tower.
Following that priority, I manifested the portal.
The target coordinate was, of course.
Yusra Kingdom, the Golden Palace.
.
.
.
Golden Palace.
Garden of Dignity.
If the owner found out.
It was Elsidore who gave that shocking name to the bi-herb garden.
You guys are finally a worthy sight.
The reason was simple.
Elsidore found it unacceptable that the bi-herb that had been touched by his hands were treated as mere flowers.
Sure enough.
What would a mere lizard know?
Even when the dragon howled.
Elsidore tended to herbal medicine without faltering.
But, wait?
What?
What were these big petals?
What were these plump fruits?
Elsidores hands trembled.
Is it because I didnt harvest it?
That speculation was correct.
For 15 days
Hoyeol didnt go to the bi-herb garden.
The elixir herbs that received overflowing blessings were now overgrown.
Elsidore recalled.
That person values beauty more than anyone else.
He dared to say.
That human, Hoyeols aesthetic sense was by no means inferior to that of an elf. What would he say if he saw that ugly flowers and fruits now bloomed in his garden?
You must have been comfortable while I was away.
He got goosebumps when he imagined what would be said next.
Was I mistaken to feel proud of you?
He still didnt know what that damn pride was!
One thing was certain, if he didnt have pride.
He couldnt get Mothers blessing back.
Elsidore made a decision.
Ill pick you out.
Would he notice if one of these many flowers disappeared?
The moment when Elsidore made his decision and boldly stretched out his hand.
He heard a sound that froze his whole body.
Tap tap
He heard a voice.
Garden of Dignity.
?
What are you doing? Elsidore.
!!!
.
.
.
Elsidore, what did you do while I was gone?
[Youve entered the Hidden Peace, Garden of Dignity.]
How did a simple bi-herb garden receive such a grand moniker?
With just Dark Dragon alone, I cant carry my face!
And now he was exaggerating the garden. Was it okay for two brothers to bully the youngest like this? Somehow, I was starting to smell the scent of my nemesis from the dragons and the elves.
Its sad because Im the youngest
I briefly lamented.
I approached Elsidore, who was hesitant.
So what is it?
The thing youre hiding behind your back.
Even if you desperately hide it, its useless.
Get back.
[Hierarchy of Blessing occurs in Elf, Elsidore.]
Even if youre being mean to me, Mom is on the youngests side.
